Was there anything more specific you wanted to know? What size tank is it, and have you set it up just for breeding? Also, how many Corydoras are there, and what is the male to female ratio? And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

There's no guarantee that you'll be able to spawn any species in such a setup, and hatching the eggs is even more troublesome. A tank just for breeding would be preferable. To go along with Corydoran, maybe your catfish just aren't old enough yet. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
